The Perfect B&amp;B Base to Explore Sydney From

Description from the owner

Sydney B&B has proven itself to be an ideal base for visitors to Australia. It offers two comfortable air conditioned rooms, each with its own private, full bathroom. The bedrooms can accommodate either one or two people. If only one room is required, the second will be left unoccupied during your stay. The rooms are in your host's own home so you will experience a safe, friendly, 'home away from home' atmosphere. You also get the opportunity to relax and interact with Australians in a typical household environment.

Room rates will vary based on the length of your stay, the number of rooms required, and the number of people in your group. The lowest rate is $120 per room/night and the most you will pay is $160 per room/night. A tentative booking can be made for any future date however it will not be treated as 'confirmed' until a non-refundable deposit has been paid. Until a deposit is received that date will remain open to others. However the first person to make a tentative booking for a particular date will always be given the first option to confirm the booking. (A full rate card is provided below)
Sydney B&B is 10 km from the centre of the city adjacent to Sydney Olympic Park and beautiful, Bicentennial Park. It is also only a 5 minute walk from suburban train line so it offers easy and frequent access to the whole of Sydney, day and night. Because it is not in the centre of the city, Sydney B&B will probably appeal most to visitors who want easy access to all the city attractions, but who also want the option of a more spacious, relaxing environment when they are not sight-seeing. You will get some idea of what previous guests have enjoyed most about the location by reading the reviews they have written on this site.
The house is in Liberty Grove which is a resort style community with its own tennis and basketball courts, swimming pools, and gymnasium. Guests will have free use of these facilities during their stay. Liberty Grove is only a short walk from Rhodes Shopping Centre which has several of Australian major retailers, an IKEA super store, and over a hundred specialty shops. Rhodes also has many café's and restaurants, plus an 8 cinema complex. A Direct Factory Outlet centre with over 120 stores is 2 minutes drive from Liberty Grove in the other direction.
Guests at Sydney B&B are offered a free airport pickup service when they arrive in the country. If this is not required an airport drop-off can be substituted. Breakfast is provided daily and guests are welcome to use our household facilities (laundry, lounge with TV ). Free wi-fi and computers are available if required. There are also three bicycles which can be used to explore some of the 35 km of bike tracks in the adjacent parks.
Your hosts at Sydney B&B are Barry and Bev West. We are an active late 50's couple who started Sydney B&B when we retired in 2012. We originally came from New Zealand so can offer travel advice for that country as well as Australia. Since starting Sydney B&B we have really enjoyed meeting our guests who have come from many different countries. However we choose not to have visitors continuously which is why we do not use the calendar option on this site and take online bookings. If you think you might like to stay with us you will need to contact Bev through the email system on this web site. When you do could you please provide a little information about yourself and your intended visit. Bev will always reply within 24 hours (unless we are travelling ourselves).

Left on 01/03/2015 for a stay in June 2014 | 508helen

Visit coincided with wonderful family event, birth of a grandchild, and our hosts, Bev and Barry, were most supportive and welcomed us within their family life. They provided delicious breakfasts in the mornings and many an hour in the evenings with wonderful conversation, snacks and drinks,. where we shared our views of both Australia, NZ, Europe. We stayed for over a month and Barry and Bev encouraged us to get out and about on bikes. We are looking forward greatly to their visit to our country this year. They provided understanding and tips for a minor clinical challenge. They relate very well to a global perspective and combine this with a warm but not intrusive concern for our well-being. This was a rare treat. Thank you!

Loved our stay and hated to leave

This was our favorite place to stay in two months of travel. The rooms were well sized, very clean, and in a quiet area. Bev and Barry were great hosts who picked one pair up at the airport and the other at the cruise terminals. The breakfasts were delicious and healthy. They proved lots of great advice that really made our trip special. We enjoyed wine time on the quiet cosy garden patio.

Left on 11/19/2014 for a stay in November 2014 | wendy718

This is a super place to stay. Bev and Barry are generous and thoughtful hosts. They are people with whom you will actually want to spend time, but the beauty of the situation is that they are also respectful of a guest's need for space and quiet and never impose themselves on you. My bedroom was comfortable with a huge private bath -- and they've thought of all the details to make the experience superlative: a desk with a huge array of maps, great advice on places to go and which metro card to buy, a pick up from the airport, a glass of wine when you need one after a long day, a bike to explore the neighboring park or speed your ride to the train. The train station is an easy 7-8 minute walk and zips you everywhere from downtown to the blue mountains. Plus, a delicious breakfast served every morning!

Bev & Barry are now our dearest friends!

I cannot truly express how wonderful it was to stay with Bev & Barry. It truly is the Perfect B&B. They are the sweetest people, their home is clean and lovely, and the location in Sydney was a wonderful base camp. Bev & Barry made us feel like life-long friends. We stayed here for a total of five nights: three when we arrived, and after we toured Australia, we stayed with them our last two nights in Sydney. We hadn't planned to stay with them at the end of the trip, but we were really looking forward to telling them about our adventures. We've invited them to visit us in Alaska, and we genuinely hope they come! I miss them already!

Wonderful B&B Experience

Left on 06/20/2014 for a stay in June 2014 | John H

We stayed for a week during the Rotary International Convention. The B&B is very nice and the owners are great. A fitness facility is close by and available for B&B guests. We used their laundry facilities. It is close to the train station for an easy ride anywhere in Sydney. They included pick up from the Sydney International Airport and drove us to several of the Convention sessions. The owners went out of their way to make us feel welcome for our visit to be a great success. We highly recommend this B&B.

Perfect place adapt yourselves to australian lifestyle and time

Left on 04/10/2014 for a stay in March 2014 | A FlipKey verified reviewer

We felt that we were like a part of family. Bev and Barry were always ready to help and quide us. Thanks to that we were experts using Sydneys trains and ferries in no time. After a briliant breakfast, we were ready to sight see the Sydney. Location of the apartment is ideal, good train connections and Olympic Park is just 10 minutes by walk. Special thanks for the australian style barbecue and all the tips for the rest of our trip.
And now few words in Finnish: Hieno paikka, suosittelemme!

You will just love it with Bev and Barry!

Finding Bev and Barry was the best thing it could happen to us in australia. My husband and I arrived in Sydney on the 31st of December 2013 at 10.30pm - New Year's Eve! We didn't come just for a couple of days, but for four years!! The first week of our "new life" was spent at Bev's B&B; and it was great. The house was even more beautiful than in the pictures, we had a very confortable room with a private bathroom and we felt really like being at home. Despite of being quite busy looking for an appartment to live for the next years, we still had time to go for a bike ride with Barry or to join the family at their super barbecues - accompanied with Bev's delicious salads and some marvellous New Zealand's Sauvignon Blanc. Just for you to get an idea of how friendly and wonderful people they are: they even helped us moving to our new appartment and getting the first things from the Ikea. Eventough we are now luckily living very close to them and seing each other quite often, it was quite sad to leave...
So, if you want to enjoy your stay in Sydney, just forget "Best Western" and chose Bev West! ;)

A Gem of a place! Amazing hosts :-)

Left on 10/16/2013 for a stay in October 2013 | A FlipKey verified reviewer

My Dad and aunt stayed with Bev and Barry for 6 nights while visiting from the UK. What amazing hosts. Bev gave them a tour around the local area (shopping centre and local park), this was only the beginning of their kind hospitality. They dropped them off at my place, several times which was the next suburb, cooked fantastic breakfasts and opened up their home to all of us ( myself, my partner, 2yr old daughter, 5mth old son) on the last night. Oh and dropped them off at the airport at stupid o'clock in the morning.

The standard of accommodation was 5 star, in a lovely quite suburb, only 10mins walk to a large shopping centre and a short walk to Concord West train station. Which connections you into central Sydney. I would highly recommend Sydney bandb its a brilliant place to stay, quality hosts and top accommodation a home away from home. Thanks Bev and Barry.

brilliant stay with quality people!

We stayed with Bev over christmas and new year for 12 days and had a fantastic time. You couldnt meet a nicer bunch of people who made us feel very welcome during our stay. We enjoyed our stay a lot due to how attentive Bev and co were with information and hospitality, comfortable spacious rooms,good location near station with easy access to central sydney and some top notch food which us backpackers proper appriciated! To sum up if your looking for a great,comfortable place to stay on the outskirts of sydney with brilliant hospitable people, this is the place!

Welcoming and friendly B

This B&B; made us feel like extended family in Sydney for a visit. They took a short walk with us to the train station and gave us a toutorial on using the train system. Their home was neat and clean. As Green Bay Packer fans, they taped a game for us to watch later. Of the B&Bs; I've visited all over the world, this is probably number 1.

A great experience

Left on 11/11/2012 for a stay in September 2012 | A FlipKey verified reviewer

We started an experiment and it became a 100% success.
It was an experiment, because it was the first time for us, not to stay in a hotel but at a Bed & Breakfast. And we loved it. From the first moment on, when we met Bev and Barry, who picked us up from the airport, we felt like meeting friends.
Thank you, Bev and Barry, for sharing your house with us for more than two weeks and for allowing us, to live so close to you. It was very nice to meet your kids and their friends. We enjoyed our comfortable sleeping room and the large bathroom. It was a real pleasure sitting with you in your living room - having a cup of tea or a beer - and talking about the experiences we made all day long and about many other things.
Liberty Grove is a very beautiful and safe neighbourhood, with nice stores and restaurants nearby. It was very easy to go to the City from there, because it is so close to the train station at Concord West. Bev and Barry even brought us to the ferry wharf by car, so that we could take the ferry down the Parramatta River to the City - a very nice way to go downtown (you have a beautiful view of the skyline and the harbour bridge from the ferry). Bev and Barry gave us a lot of precious advice and showed us some beautiful places at the northern beaches.
We loved our time in Sydney and living in Bev´s and Barry´s house made it a great experience. Thank you so much for your hospitality. Sarah and David also wanted to say thank you for the great moments with you (BBQ, driving range, Sarah's meeting with the snake and many more...).
We are all looking forward to meeting you in Germany next year!

Relaxed, friendly home away from home.

What a great place to base yourself when exploring Sydney. Trains are a short walk from the house for easy commuting to & fro and great facilities - tennis court was my favourite, but there are also bikes to ride around the nearby park.

Bev & her family are great hosts, helpful & fun to get to know - but were also completely happy to leave me to my own devices if that's what I wanted.

Amazing Hospitality

I felt very welcomed into the house from the first moment. Wonderful conversation, amazing hospitality and comfortable accommodation made my stay very enjoyable. It was truly a home away from home experience.
Thank you Bev and Barry for everything !

Fab!!!

I have been dreaming of Sydney and australia all my life and I had a great, fantastic time thank to Bev, Barry and the all family! I went alone without knowing anybody in all the Continent and I received a warm, familiar welcome! I felt safe and they took care of me, helping in every single need: with my cell, my booking to Cairns, my swim, my cross-fit, my wine, my spaghetti, my pick up from the airport and my going at 5 in the morning, my train, my ferry and so many other things it could be too long to list!!! Do you think it is unbelievable? It is all truth, I promise!
The house is very nice and tidy, much better than you can realize from the pics. An amazing swimming pool and the gym are just outside the house, the train is few minutes walking as well as shops (a huge mall is 10 minutes walking) and the beautiful Sydney Olympic Park: a fab park for all those who love nature and sports!
By train it is possible to reach Opera House, Botanic Garden, the Sydney Tower and all the amenities. By ferry it is possible to reach all the beautiful seaside destinations :Boundi, Manly, Watson Bay and many more with all their unforgettable natural coves.
You will love "the aussie time of your life" in that location!

Great stay - highly recommended!!

I spent 3 nights at the Sydney B & B in april 2012, and was extremely impressed with the quality of the service provided. I have stayed in many B & B's all over the world, and it rare to find an establishment that offers such 5 star treatment. Bev and Barry were lovely, welcoming hosts, full of local information and tips. They even offered to drive me to some of the activities I was planning on doing! The breakfast was also divine, fresh and healthy and I was able to help myself to whatever I wanted.
I would recommend the Sydney B & B very highly to anyone, and I definitely plan on coming back next time I'm in Sydney! Thanks for a fantastic stay Barry and Bev!!

Great Stay

My son and I stayed at Sydney Bed and Breakfast during the australian National Junior athletics Championships at Olympic Park. The Close proximity to the track was excellent and our hosts lent us bikes to get to and from the track. We were made to feel like one of the family and been able to use the kitchen facilities was a big bonus. The pool with in the complex was great for recovery in between events. The helpful advice from Bev and her family was much appreciated to make our stay enjoyable and also successful , as we came away with two medals. Hope to be back next year.

Home away from Home!

I stayed at this homestay in March 2012. It is well presented,quiet and secure. My double bedroom with ensuite was very comfortable and clean. The hosts Bev and Barry are fun, easy going, active and helpful. There is a beautiful park nearby which is great for walks or biking. Rhodes Shopping Centre with Ikea is a 10 minute walk away, as is access to the waterways and train systems. Breakfast can be whatever you want it to be. I enjoyed my stay there, and I would certainly stay there again.

Away from the bustle!

Left on 04/23/2012 for a stay in June 2011 | Alistair

I stayed here for one month in June 2011 - great location. Far enough from the city to be out of the bustle, close enough to be convenient. Also close to a big park. Easy to get to by train. House was nice, well maintained, plenty of space for guests. I got my own bathroom. Very friendly hosts with great home-cooking :)
